Living Loudly. Dying to be Heard: Perspectives on

Living Loudly. Dying to be Heard: Perspectives on Advanced Breast Cancer officially launched on World Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness, 13th October.
This campaign by AstraZeneca and supported by the Marie Keating Foundation brings attention to the unique experiences of those living with advanced breast cancer that can sometimes be overlooked.
This exhibition aims to change perceptions.
Featuring portraits and stories of eight women across Ireland: Dr Tonya Leonard, Cynthia Cosme Cravo, Aine Murphy, Joy Keating, Barbara King, Fiona Dowd, Aileen O’ Connor, and Hazel Fleming. 7 of whom are from the Marie Keating Foundations Positive Living Community.
Their stories span different regions, backgrounds and experiences, from navigating healthcare as an immigrant to living with neurodiversity alongside cancer. What unites them is their determination to be heard and their insistence that the realities of living with advanced breast cancer cannot be ignored. While some need practical support and others additional emotional support, all are calling for their voices and experiences to be recognised.
Entry is free. The exhibition runs this weekend 9am -7pm Sat 17th and Sun 18th of October and is located on Level 1, outside Brown Thomas, Dundrum Town Centre. For more information about the campaign visit

Our Advanced Breast Cancer Awareness Day Seminar w

Our Advanced Breast Cancer Awareness Day Seminar was held yesterday at the beautiful Richmond Educate and Events Centre. The theme this year was the Psycho-social and emotional impact of living with an advanced cancer.
It was a day full of education, advice, honest reflection, connection, and community. There were so many important subjects covered and valuable conversations had on the physical, emotional, and financial impact of advanced cance, what resources are available and what resources are sorely needed. As always the patient voice and needs were at the heart of this event.
We are so thankful to all our incredible speakers, panelists, community, attendees and all those who helped bring this important and very special day together.
A special acknowledgement needs to go to our Director of Nursing Helen Forristal who leads on our survivorship services and is the driving force behind this event and Fiona our Survivorship coordinator who is by her side supporting.
We could not create events like this without our sponsors and ABC Day was kindly supported by @astrazeneca , @msdinvents , @novartisireland and Pfizer Ireland .
Recordings and details of the event and speakers will be live on mariekeating.ie next week, so stay tuned.
